Hey Stranger!

Just yesterday we had a bit of a reunion at Elite OC. Freddy Tario, Ronni Salcedo of TAI NC along with Greg Collette of TAI Tx were all in town. If you didn’t know this, all of us, with the exception of Freddy, started at Elite OC. Those were fun times! But as the company grew, those guys moved to their new stores. Though we talk to each other on a daily basis, its still good to see everyone!

Freddy and a mysterious hand.

Ronni admiring the bats while Freddy and Leslie talk about their favorite type of Beef Jerky.

It was really nice because Ronni introduced us to his girlfriend of two years, Palmela Handy.

Shortly after Ronni and Freddy arrived, Greg walked in!

But like all good things, it has to come to an end. The fellas had to say good bye because they are on their way back to Texas and NC.

Merry Christmas!

Spice up your life!

Not sure if you all knew this. but Mr. Elite loves spices. It doesn’t matter if its your run of the mill salt and pepper or something exotic like saffron, but he loves it all. In fact he’s been known to travel the world looking for the best quality spices.

This photo was taken from his trip to France.

So when the company gift exchange came up. Elly was ecstatic that she picked Mr. Elite. Why? It’s because she went to great lengths to get him a Spice Rack from Canada with all of his favorites already on the rack. You would think that Elly could have just gone to a store or order it online, nope, she took the train to Canada and stopped off at a Spice Market just for Mr. Elite.

Without further aduie, here’s the special Spice Rack that Mr. Elite will receive later today…

My gift to you…

Since its the week of Christmas, most of you are either relaxing at home, shopping the malls or mildly distracted at work. To help get you into the holiday spirit, I found this video that will do just the trick.

While you’ve go the video above going, hit play on this one too!

You also gotta watch one of my favorite holiday movies, A Christmas Story. Here’s a clip from a great scene.

Do you want to look distinguised like Uncle Bill?

First step is to grow a goat tee. If you’re Asian and can’t grow facial hair, then print this out and place it on your face.

Once you’d done that, you have to get one of the new Elite Sublimated Pullovers.
